Detroit Tigers Reportedly Sign Veteran Pitcher Alex Cobb to One-Year Deal

The 37-year-old right-hander, known for his ground-ball pitching, looks to bounce back after an injury-plagued 2024 season.

Alex Cobb and the Detroit Tigers have reportedly agreed to a one-year contract for the 2025 season, pending a physical exam.
Cobb, a 13-year MLB veteran, missed most of the 2024 season due to left hip surgery and right shoulder issues but returned late in the year for the Cleveland Guardians.
The former All-Star posted a 2.76 ERA in three regular-season starts for Cleveland and made two postseason appearances, though injuries limited his effectiveness.
Cobb has a career 3.84 ERA and is known for his exceptional ground-ball rate, relying on a splitter and sinker as his primary pitches.
This signing reunites Cobb with Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris, who previously signed him to the San Francisco Giants in 2022.
